Can I use C# unsafe code in my UWP application?

0.00/5 (No votes)

I heard that Windows 8 Phone apps must be type-safe MSIL to be placed in the Windows App Store. Is this right? And what about Windows 10 UWP? I need to use fast unsafe code with pointers in my UWP app, but I don't know if there any limitations for Windows Store programs.

What I have tried:

public unsafe scale(float* s, int n)
{
    float * l = s + n;

    while (s < l)
    {
        *s++ *= 0.25f;
    }
}

Doing pointer manipulation doesn't guarantee fast code, you may want to take a step back and look for other performance problems that are forcing you into pointer manipulation.
